5. The McCain campaign hasn't exactly been friendly to the Arab-American
crazy rally lady: "he's an Arab".

McCrazy: "no maam, he's a decent family man".

Outrageous response.

11. I agree. I don't think Fareed is an Arab though.

2. A welcome, though not unexpected endorsement.
After all, Zakaria is a great champion of diplomacy, which is the centerpiece of Obama's foreign policy plan.

Still, I think the world of Zakaria and am very glad that he shared the reasoning behind his choice with all of us.

Obama has been getting a few of those lately.

9. Another America-Hater Endorses That One.
Zakaria's thoughtful,respectful,well-reasoned examination of the candidate's policies and abilities reveals him to be another bomb-throwing tool of the Liberal Left-Wing Media. I mean really, what kind of name is Fareed Zakaria anyway? What gives him the right to openly express his opinion ........and when can we get rid of that damned Constitution?!!!

14. that was frightening, wasn't it?
It is a cold war mentality, in a world much more interdependent and less isolated than during the cold war. I've always liked Fareed's commentary and assessments. He is respected by many.

15. Establishment boot licker jumps on bandwagon.
This guy is a shill for American empire, and frankly I am disturbed that he endorsed Obama. A quick look through Zakaria's positions over the last 20 years show him to be nothing more than a servant of power and an apologist for imperial violence.
